Cut strands to desired length. For this particular pattern, 65 inches will produce approximately a 6 inch (including loop and knot) tight bracelet.

With the rightmost yellow strand, make two backward knots. With the leftmost yellow strand, make three forward knots to join the yellow strands together. The color pattern should now be 2121 1212.
Step 9.
Using the rightmost yellow strand, make a forward knot.
Step 10.
Using the leftmost yellow strand, make a backward knot. The color pattern should now be 1221 1221.
Step 11.
